lip syncing in Spanish

So early on, while doing my first lip sync scene at Catmandu.. I was bitch slapped  for not getting the right phoneme shapes..   Well EXCUSE MEEEEeee..   .. It wasnt easy to parse out the sounds.. I found out that most of the problem lies in the fact that I had to make more oo and u  mouth shapes.  ALthough I didnt hear it, it was there anyway ..  This is going to be tougher than I expected.  I feel for the foreign animators working for DW or Disney or Pixar..  There were a few animators that didnt know much english and I can imagine the problem they may have had..  the muscles used for language and the muscle memory can be in direct vconflict with the language youare trying to learn  I still say moy bien  for muy bien  ( its actually moo ee bien)   the U is always   a short  "oo"  . 
SO the guys at the studio were so gracious to put together a little mouth shape tutorial... 

SOR  pressa  !!
